About Type1 Photography

I'm a Sheffield Wedding Photographer with a relaxed, documentary style. I will document the day as it happens, I won’t manufacture it.

You don't want someone to direct you to put the shoes here, look this way, look that way. You want to remember it the way it happened, that's what you planned, that’s what you love and that’s what I will give to you.

You want your photographer to use a relaxed, documentary style to record all of the non-scripted parts of your day that you may not remember on the day but will be the moments you cherish most when you look back.

I will record the emotion, the goosebumps, the butterflies and the tears. I capture natural wedding moments as they happen rather than the stuffy posed look.

Some people really don't like having their photo taken so I keep things nice and relaxed. Nothing forced, nothing fake, just gorgeous images of both of you.

Using natural light over flash wherever possible as it gives the images a much more romantic and well, natural look. That being said, I will use every ounce of my creative brain and years of experience to capture every aspect of your day with skill and care.

I will take time with you, as newlyweds, on the day to create some beautiful, authentic portraits that you will want to have hanging on your wall at home.

Based near Sheffield, I cover weddings across the whole of the UK. I also like planes, trains and automobiles. If you want me to cross water to be at your wedding, you can be sure I will do all I can to make it happen.

Professional Accreditations

Reviews

Neil is an absolutely brilliant photographer.
A proper professional and was brilliant with all the guests. The kids loved him especially and can't wait to see their pics.
I consider myself lucky to have had him as my photographer and I recommend him to anyone. He has an artistic eye that I as a photographer myself am jealous of. First class!

How far in advance should I contact you?

Ideally as soon as you have your date and venue confirmed but don't worry if its been a while - just drop me a message and I will check availability.

Do you cover more than one wedding a day?

Who would do that? Can I borrow their time machine?? You have my full and undivided attention on your wedding day.

Are you able to travel?

Yes! I have a VW campervan and will sleep in it if necessary.

What is the charge for travelling?

If you are within 40 miles of my front door then no charge. Any further than that and we need to chat :)

What style of photos do you take?

Natural and relaxed for most of the day. Creative and fun for some other parts. Always as an observer, never a director.

What kind of technology do you use?

I only use professional Nikon camera bodies and lenses. I always carry backup cameras, lenses, cards, batteries and flashguns. Nothing will stop me creating memories for you.

Do you use a specific technique or innovative approach?

It's all about keeping it natural, relaxed and fun.

Do you offer any tool to display the photos online?

Yes you will have a private password protected online gallery with highlight shots approximately 3 weeks after your wedding. You can download and share direct from there too.

What''s the delivery time for photographic report?

Usually 4-6 weeks after your wedding and 2-3 weeks after your online gallery.

Do you send all the photos taken?

No. I take anywhere from 2500 to 5000 images at any one wedding. Even as a professional there are still some that aren't quite right. Trust me and will select and edit the best 450 ish for you.

Do you work alone or do you have a team of professionals?

I generally work on my own throughout the wedding day itself. I can arrange for a second photographer to capture more images at extra cost.

In case of unforeseen circumstances, do you have a replacement photographer?

Yes! Never needed one so far but I have a close group of photographer friends who are all professional wedding photographers in their own right. I'm also part of many network groups that can call up help at almost immediate notice.

Do you have the rights to publish the wedding photos?

I understand that privacy is essential for some clients and while I retain all copyright to the images I take, I do provide you with a licence for unlimited personal use.
If you do not want me to not publish your images in future blogs / web images then just let me know and I am more than happy to oblige.

Do you charge per hour or per event?

Per event usually. More often it's a case of a 12-14 hours day for me.
Nothing is set in stone though so if you're going to have a 3 day wedding then we need to chat. Also if you just want me for 2-3 hours for a small, intimate elopement then I would love to find out about that too.

If needed, would you be able to work extra hours?

Of course, if you opt for the Nevis package then generally I am there until you call it a night.
If you opt for the Snowdon package and think you may need an extra hour or two I am happy to talk that through with you.

How do you charge extra time?

My usual time is all day so its unlikely you would need extra time.

What are the forms of payment?

Cash, Paypal, Credit/Debit Card, Bank Transfer, Rum.

How do you work?

That's a weird question. These are all preset questions by the way. I guess hard and smart would be the answer to this one?? #shrug#
